Auxerre vs. Toulouse: Match Prediction
Recently, Christophe Pélissier's side has slowed down in attack and has struggled to score even at home. In their last five home matches in Ligue 1, Auxerre only scored more than once against Lens, and in two instances, they left the field without scoring. However, the club is solid defensively, conceding a maximum of one goal in 7 of their last 8 home league matches, with five clean sheets in that span.
Toulouse operates in a similar fashion: they are not consistently productive in attack but strive to minimize mistakes defensively. In 7 of their last 9 away league matches, the team has not scored more than one goal, while keeping four clean sheets in their last six away matches.
Considering all factors, I expect a low-scoring match. My prediction: Total under 2.5 goals
